Taiwan’s F-16A/B fighter upgrade project, code-named "Fengzhan Plan", has been successfully tested. The entire project cost US$5.3 billion (about NT$166.3 billion). A total of 144 F-16s will be refitted in the next six years. Due to pressure from China, the United States has not sold the newer F-16C/D that Taiwan has always wanted. In desperation, Taiwan had to upgrade the old organic F-16A/B.
The upgraded model of F-16V will start in 2012. At that time, the U.S. Air Force repeatedly delayed the service of F-35 fighters and proposed an upgrade plan involving 350 F-16s. That is, through the installation of new electronic equipment and radars, the F-16A/B Block 40/42 batches of fighters and Block The performance of the 50/52 batch of fighters is close to the level of the latest F-16 model Block60. This project quickly attracted the attention of Taiwan, South Korea and Singapore, hoping to reduce the cost of upgrading their own fighter jets by taking a ride on the US military.
In 2014, the U.S. Air Force faced large-scale funding cuts and had already begun mass-building F-35s, so it decided to only make simple upgrades to the F-16s it owns. In response, South Korea and Singapore retreated, but Taiwan obviously did not want to give up this upgrade opportunity, so it had to bear most of the cost of the upgrade project. Perhaps it is to make Taiwan feel that their money is worth the money. The United States has also changed the propaganda caliber to "F-16V is a model specially developed for Taiwan's needs.
Among the endless modifications of F-16 fighter jets, the internationally recognized strongest version is the F-16E/F (Block 60) model built by Lockheed Martin for the UAE, but because the price is too expensive, the purchase unit price is as high as 55 million U.S. dollars, so This type of aircraft even the US military does not have the money for a lot of equipment. The so-called latest version of F-16V is actually just a "simplified version" of the aforementioned fighters.
Even if the F-16V factory is working overtime overnight, the progress is accelerating, the full modification will be completed by 2022. The Air Force F-10B has been in mass production for many years. At the same time, the F-10C, F-16 and other fighters that use new engines and active phased array radars have already been put into mass production. Therefore, Taiwan's spending this sum of money is completely taking advantage of it.
